Will Google OCR The Whole Web?

The argument comes from the fact that Scanning all images into text can make Google a lot more superior to other search engines. There are billions of images that have important text in them and the fact that scanning them cannot be ignored in the near future if Google wants to keep a big chunk of the search market.

Pretty interesting read should be possible because anytime i make things in html i get yelled at for not marking the picture with an text of what it is. but Google better slow down before some conspirators file for an unfair monopoly and ruin it for the rest of us.

And all I had to was take a picture of it with Google Goggles (on an Android phone) and it recognized the text immediately. So they already have the tech for text recognition, they would only need to implement it in their indexing process.
